360 build thread

Congrats on the build your doing.
The J heads can be expensive to rebuild and/or port without a big return in flow. While there not bad considering there a factory iron part not designed for high performance, the can do fairly well for what they are. The current crop of aluminum heads is an overall better purchase though more expensive. It will show up well in the power output.

Healthy cam you have there. It’s a bit hard to read on my phone but it’s 240* I take @ .050 with .536 lift? Hard to see the rest. For me at least. 245/[email protected] rocker?

Cam specs are
LSA 108
valve overlap 28.2

INTAKE 1.6 rocker
valve open 15.5 BTDC
centerline 103.9 ATDC
valve close 44.5 ABDC
Duration 240
lobe lift .33539
valve lift .53663
lobe area 27.55

EXHAUST 1.5 rocker
valve open 53.6 BTDC
centerline 111.9 ATDC
valve close 12.7 ABDC
Duration 246.3
lobe lift .31539
valve lift .47309
lobe area 27.39

I didn't get into a conversation with Tom about the cam specs he chose when I picked up the motor (too busy asking other questions), but most of the time I see the intake/exhaust lifts closer together on off the shelf cams. Anyone care to enlighten me to the science behind this cam grind?
